Super Bowl 51: Patriots -3 Over ATL

[cowboys5xsbs]

I think the only thing that could hold Atlanta down will be nerves. If they can overcome that I don't see New England being able to slow down Atlanta. On the flip side I think Atlanta might be able to bring enough pressure to slow Brady down a bit. They destroyed Green Bay's line today and they are no slouches. Should be a good game. I have Atlanta winning 38-31.

Some of my sources are telling me that Patriots are going to win this game by at least 28 points.

If you bet that much, you'll get 3-1 odds.

Really?

Man it's so adorable how nobody gives the Falcons a shot against anyone. Seahawks gonna beat em, Packers sure as hell gonna beat em, Pats win by a blowout.

I'll be here to remind everyone of their stupidity when Atlanta hangs 45 on the Pats and Vic Beasley rips Tom Brady's head off.

I'm underfeated in playoffs. Putting everything on Atlanta. Pats D sucks

That's not much of a feat. Yesterday morning the Pats D hadn't played any decent QBs. Now we're just down to they suck.

Wishful thinking. Atlanta certainly could win. 45 tho? Not seeing that.

....Atlanta played well but the Packers flat-out sucked from the opening kickoff.

I see a Pats win. Advantage to them in HC, QB and defense. Obviously Ryan and that offense is running high, but I still don't buy how 'great' they are. Both played laughably bad pass defenses yesterday....I'm sure I could've put up 300 yds/3TD's on either Pitt or GB.

Hope it's at least a good game....not like that crap show from last year.

TWF happened? Falcons receivers were virtually unguarded the entire first half.

Combine the fact that the Packers were down to their 34th and 35 cornerbacks, and for whatever reason, Capers never adjusted from that soft zone nonsense....the Atlanta receivers with their drops did more damage to the Atlanta offense than anything the Packers put out there.

It's amazing to me that with every new game people think this is the team that's going to stop Atlanta. This will be a great game imo but the NE D has NO CHANCE to stop Atlantas offense. Elite offenses, historically elite, can only be stopped by ELITE defenses. New England has a good defense maybe even very good but that is irrelevant. They can't stop Atlanta. If New England wins it will be because they score 35-38+. If they don't crack 30 they lose. Period.

How many points did "The Greatest Show on Turf" score against the Pats?

I'm not saying the Pats will stop the Falcons in the same manner but I will guarantee you Belichick will have a scheme that will get stops in the Red Zone.

We will see. Nothing is impossible but statistics say it's highly unlikely Atlanta scores less than 30-35

Oh, don't give me that underdog noise. The Super Bowl is the first game you've been the underdog to all postseason.

BB, Brady and the Pats are now 6-0 vs teams that have an elite qb, and lights out rb and wideouts, including the “Greatest Show on Turf” — Warner, Bruce, Faulk, and Manning, James, Harrison, and so on. Falcons are no different. Soon be 7-0.

The refs could certainly change that but I tend to agree that when Brady loses, its to dominant defensive lines not dominant offenses.

It's gonna be fun spending 2 weeks telling Pats fans exactly what's going to happen to their D and then watch it unfold just like I said. I only got 1 week of fun with Seattle and GB fans so this will be a good time
